Yes, I broke a bulkhead fitting. Not a huge deal. Below is a picture. The foam is thin and shouldn’t change anything other than to ensure the bottom of the tank is touching everywhere.

Update. Drained tank and most of sump. Lifted tank, inserted foam. Shimmed the stand and dead even. broke a seal and now have to re-do plumbing. Any body do plumbing? Was a corner overflow but am thinking it is not the best way these days :(

I do believe my stand leans a little forward. This definitely gives me something to think about, thanks

The tank is rimless but does have a frame. It is a Deep Blue 80g (Leishman’s tank) I asked about a foam pad when setting up and was told there was no need as it has a frame. Frustrated as I’m just getting it running and final stage of cycle. Has been running since end of December. Yes, bottom front left corner. I’ll take a pic when it builds back up. Just checked and nothing yet

Unfortunately front left corner of tank. Only possible scenario is water is getting through the silicone seam. Thanks!

Seems I have a leak on my DB 80 gallon that is causing salt creep every 3 days or so. No water causing issues but am having to wipe off salt creep so know there is a leak of some sort. Anyone have any external fixes I can try? Silicone/glue, etc? Don't want to make a bigger mess than necessary. Thanks, Jason

Small white snail on my Trochus snail.

Already picked them up, thanks

Trying bare one more time.

ready!

Still have them? Hold please

I’m not sure they are reef safe but have never owned one

Outlet in front. I’ll mess with it over the weekend. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I will replace the tube and look into adding a float valve/sensor as secondary fail safe

What is the best ATO that people are using? I have 2 Avast ATOs and neither work properly. Woke up this morning to find water everywhere in the basement. is the Tunze the best?

Yes, back at it without the wife’s consent lol. It’s a DB 80 gallon. Running ATO 8 bulb with 2 reefbrites. Still need to get.a few things as I want but have been cycling for almost 3 weeks. Looking forward to seeing everyone

Just starting wire decisions but looking forward to success!

Thanks Eric. That’s what I was thinking too. It looks like your 3/4 is opposite of mine. I’ll have to run my return over my drain but shouldn’t be a huge issue

Perfect! Thanks so much. I didn’t want to continue until I was assured. All good!

I tried to draw as better then a pic. It is a corner overflow and the 1” drain is next to the cut out for the return nozzle. It seems to me that the 1” and 3/4” drilled holes should be switched. Make s sense?

I am plumbing my DB 80g rimless and am looking for advice. The drain is typically the larger 1” and return 3/4”. Why is the 1” bulkhead next to where the return hole is in the overflow valve? Do you cross over or should the drain be the 3/4” hole? Literally confused and frustrated at this point. Any experienced advice is appreciated

Thanks gentlemen!

i have a DB 80 gallon. BRS sells the 1/4 so asking

Curious what you guys are using to place under rimless tanks? I've looked for 1/4" pink foam board but cannot find it. Any suggestions/advice is appreciated!
